That may be how the cups devs (or is it the document viewer app devs?) see it. I was getting a bit distracted though with all the standards and such...the bottom line my 34x22 images are not resized correctly for 17x11 paper. They are being resized..printed as 8.5x11..orientation is correct. Testing other document viewer apps : evince v.3.4.0-3.1 prints correctly in Debian Wheezy, TDE 3.5.13.2. The main difference is the print dialog box has a 'page handling' tab which contains 3 options, which are lacking in all other print dialog boxes I tested. 1. Page scaling: none;fit to printable area: shrink to printable area. 2.auto rotate and center 3 select page size using document paper size. Okular in Jessie, KDE 4.11.x does not work for me, kpdf does not work in Squeeze either. I know the driver has the capability , I have an HP8600 Officejet Pro, HP supplies good drivers, afaikt. Not a good sign that evince works for me in Wheezy but does not work in Jessie v 3.12.0-1..better stay with Wheezy -- Peace, Greg
